My grandparents decided to learn Welsh when they were 65. After two years of lessons in it (and talking Welsh with me at home, I was going to a Welsh school and was already fluent), they were fluent. My grandmother, around the same time, decided to overcome her phobia of water and had me teach her how to swim. She'd swim laps with me in the pool up into her 80s.
You're not too old and it's not too late to try something new.
(whispering) did, uh, everyone use the same santa hat for their christmas icon edit? is it an app/site?

@jesibeans oh I totally understand, my grandma refuses to use ANY sort of "advanced" tech, so anything outside of her TV, car, and home phone is just *too* complicated
and then there's tech she understands, but is too paranoid to use, like cellphones
but the worst was when I had to lie about being in online college courses because it would've taken too long to explain how it works every time she asks about it OTL

Self care can be small, simple, and take just a moment. Fit it into your daily life.

@jesibeans I'm a virgo sun who's tech fluent, my advice for teaching old ppl tech is to go Very Very Slowly and explain each step, each element, and/or any questions that are asked
there's a lot of terminology/symbology we already know instinctively because we've grown up with it
also, know when to give up. some old ppl just don't want to learn new tech
another reminder from someone whose teeth are falling apart to brush/floss/rinse your teeth!!!
don't think I'm going to get any sleep until this tooth(teeth?) is fixed :C
